@cynbell I have found a reputable well established pain treatment clinic where I am prescribed the pain meds I need. I have to be seen every single month. A person must sign a lengthy pain contract with a lot of rules you must follow. You have to 'toe the line'. no messing around like missing appointments or complaining about paying for urine testing whenever the doctor requires it. If you start acting out in the clinic or pushing for a higher dose than they have decided you need, you are can be dismissed as a patient. I also take what is known to treat my fibromyalgia and neuropathy, Duloxitine and Lyrica/pregabilin. I have take these two meds for 10+ years and I have had no problems. I ran our of Pregabilyn over a weekend and I learned how mush those have been helping me. I have a rheumatologist who prescribes the last two meds. We must give these meds a chance. Take as prescribed for a month to 6 weeks. Keep a journal every day of how you feel. This is valuable to take to the doctor. too. Read all you can about alternative or holistic treatments for your disease. We have to build a team of doctors to help us. I hope this helps someone!!
